BACKGROUND

Provided herein are novel inhibitors of TAM and MET kinases, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, processes for making the compounds, and the use of the compounds in therapy. More particularly, provided herein are pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine compounds useful in the treatment and prevention of diseases which can be treated with a TAM kinase inhibitor or MET kinase inhibitor.

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell surface proteins that transmit signals from the extracellular environment to the cell cytoplasm and nucleus to regulate cellular events such as survival, growth, proliferation, differentiation, adhesion and migration.

The TAM subfamily consists of three RTKs including TYRO3, AXL and Mer (Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). TAM kinases are characterized by an extracellular ligand binding domain consisting of two immunoglobulin-like domains and two fibronectin type III domains. Two ligands, growth arrest specific 6 (GAS6) and protein S (PROS1), have been identified for TAM kinases. GAS6 can bind to and activate all three TAM kinases, while PROS1 is a ligand for Mer and TYRO3 (Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785).

AXL (also known as UFO, ARK, JTK11 and TYRO7) was originally identified as a transforming gene from DNA of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (O'Bryan et al., 1991, Mol Cell Biol 11, 5016-5031; Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). GAS6 binds to AXL and induces subsequent auto-phosphorylation and activation of AXL tyrosine kinase. AXL activates several downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt, Raf-MAPK, PLC-PKC (Feneyrolles et al., 2014, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics 13, 2141-2148; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83).

MER (also known as MERTK, EYK, RYK, RP38, NYK and TYRO 12) was originally identified as a phospho-protein from a lymphoblastoid expression library (Graham et al., 1995, Oncogene 10, 2349-2359; Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). Both GAS6 and PROS1 can bind to Mer and induce the phosphorylation and activation of Mer kinase (Lew et al., 2014). Like AXL, MER activation also conveys downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt and Raf-MAPK (Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83).

TYRO3 (also known as DTK, SKY, RSE, BRT, TIF, ETK2) was originally identified through a PCR-based cloning study (Lai et al., Neuron 6, 691-70, 1991; Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). Both ligands, GAS6 and PROS1, can bind to and activate TYRO3. Although the signaling pathways downstream of TYRO3 activation are the least studied among TAM RTKs, it appears that both PI3K-Akt and Raf-MAPK pathways are involved (Linger et al., 2008, Advances in Cancer Research 100, 35-83). AXL, MER and TYRO3 are found to be over-expressed in cancer cells.

The MET family includes mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met), a single pass tyrosine kinase receptor that is expressed on the surface of various epithelial cells; its ligand is hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) (Nakamura et al., Nature 342:440-443, 1989). The binding of HFG to c-Met initiates a series of intracellular signals that mediate embrogenesis and would healing in normal cells (Organ, Ther. Adv. Med. Oncol. 3(1 Supply):S7-S19, 2011). However, in cancer cells, aberrant HGF/c-Met axis activation, which is closely related to c-Met gene mutations, overexpression, and amplification, promotes tumor development and progression—e.g., by stimulating the PI3K/AKT, Ras/MAPK, JAK/STAT, SRC, and Wnt/β-catenin signal pathways (Zhang et al., Mol. Cancer 17:45, 2018; Mizuno et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci. 14:888-919, 2013). The constitutive activation of the aforementioned c-Met-dependent signaling pathways confers cancer cells with competitive growth advantage relative to normal cells and increases the likelihood of metastasis—e.g., by enabling access to blood supply and conferring ability to dissociate from tissues (Comoglio et al., Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 7:504-516, 2008; Birchmeier et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 4:915-925, 2003).

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for compounds and methods of use thereof for the modulation of TAM and MET kinases in treatment of cancer.

In some embodiments, the patient is a pediatric patient.

The term “pediatric patient” as used herein refers to a patient under the age of 21 years at the time of diagnosis or treatment. The term “pediatric” can be further be divided into various subpopulations including: neonates (from birth through the first month of life); infants (1 month up to two years of age); children (two years of age up to 12 years of age); and adolescents (12 years of age through 21 years of age (up to, but not including, the twenty-second birthday)). Berhman R E, Kliegman R, Arvin A M, Nelson W E. Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 15th Ed. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Company, 1996; Rudolph A M, et al. Rudolph's Pediatrics, 21st Ed. New York: McGraw-Hill, 2002; and Avery M D, First L R. Pediatric Medicine, 2nd Ed. Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins; 1994. In some embodiments, a pediatric patient is from birth through the first 28 days of life, from 29 days of age to less than two years of age, from two years of age to less than 12 years of age, or 12 years of age through 21 years of age (up to, but not including, the twenty-second birthday).

The amount of a compound of Formula I that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight) of the patient in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art.

The term “regulatory agency” refers to a country's agency for the approval of the medical use of pharmaceutical agents with the country. For example, a non-limiting example of a regulatory agency is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The term “TAM-associated disease or disorder” as used herein refers to diseases or disorders associated with or having increased expression and/or activity of one or more of the TAM kinases in a cell (e.g., a cancer cell or an immune cell) (e.g., as compared to a control, e.g., a non-cancerous tissue or cell, or a corresponding tissue or cell from a control subject that does not have cancer) and/or where activation of a TAM kinase expressed on non-cancer cells contributes to disease. Non-limiting examples of a TAM-associated disease or disorder include, for example, cancer (a TAM-associated cancer), e.g., any of the cancers described herein. In one embodiment, the disease is a cancer that overexpresses one or more TAM kinases after treatment with at least one additional anticancer agent (e.g., one or more of any of the additional anticancer agents described herein), e.g., a kinase-targeted therapeutic agent and/or a chemotherapeutic agent as described herein). In one embodiment, the disease is associated with signaling through one or more TAM kinases expressed in cells of the immune system (e.g., immune cells selected from the group of tumor-associated macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and subsets of tumor associated dendritic cells), wherein the expression of one or more TAM kinases in the immune cells may limit the ability of the patient's immune system to make an effective anti-tumor response.

The term “TAM-associated cancer” as used herein refers to cancers associated with or having increased expression and/or activity of one or more of the TAM kinases in a cancer cell or an immune cell (e.g., as compared to a control, e.g., a non-cancerous tissue or cell, or a corresponding tissue or cell from a control subject that does not have cancer). Non-limiting examples of a TAM-associated cancer are described herein. In some embodiments, the TAM-associated cancer is a cancer having a chromosomal translocation that results in the expression of a TMEM87B-MERTK fusion protein (e.g., amino acids 1-55 of TMEM87B and amino acids 433-1000 of MERTK) or a AXL-MBIP fusion protein. A description of an exemplary chromosomal translocation that results in the expression of a TMEM87B-MERTK fusion protein is provided in Shaver et al. (Cancer Res. 76(16):4850-4860, 2016). A description of an exemplary chromosomal translocation that results in the expression of an AXL-MBIP fusion protein is provided in Seo et al. (Genome Res. 22:2109-2119, 2012). Chromosomal translocations or the resulting expression of TMEM87B-MERTK or AXL-MBIP fusion proteins can be detected using In Situ Hybridization (e.g., Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH)). Chromosomal translocations that result in the expression of TMEM87B-MERTK or AXL-MBIP can be detected by sequencing DNA from a sample obtained from the subject (e.g., blood, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, bile, lymphatic fluid, cyst fluid, stool ascites, or a tumor biopsy obtained from the subject). Exemplary methods that can be used to sequence DNA are known in the art and include, e.g., next-generation sequencing (NGS), traditional PCR, digital PCR, and microarray analysis. Additional methods that can be used to detect chromosomal translocations that result in the expression of TMEM87B-MERTK or AXL-MBIP fusion proteins, or the expression of TMEM87B-MERTK or AXL-MBIP fusion proteins, are known in the art.

The term “c-Met-associated disease or disorder” as used herein refers to diseases or disorders associated with or having increased expression, level, and/or activity of c-Met kinase in a cell (e.g., a cancer cell or an immune cell) (e.g., as compared to a control, e.g., a non-cancerous tissue or cell, or a corresponding tissue or cell from a control subject that does not have cancer) and/or where activation of c-Met kinase expressed in non-cancer cells contributes to disease. Non-limiting examples of a c-MET-associated disease or disorder include, for example, cancer (a c-Met-associated cancer), e.g., any of the cancers described herein. In one embodiment, the disease is a cancer that overexpresses c-Met kinase after treatment with at least one additional anticancer agent (e.g., one or more of any of the additional anticancer agents described herein), e.g., a kinase-targeted therapeutic agent and/or a chemotherapeutic agent as described herein). In some embodiments, the disease is a cancer that has a higher protein level of c-Met kinase (e.g., due to mutation in a MET gene that results in decreased proteasome degradation of c-MET kinase in a mammalian cell). In some embodiments, the disease is a cancer that has a higher level of c-Met kinase activity due to an activating mutation in a c-Met gene (e.g., any of the activating mutations in a c-Met gene described herein) or an increase in the expression of a c-Met kinase in a mammalian cell. In some embodiments, the disease is a cancer that expresses a c-Met kinase that is resistant (e.g., to at least some extent as compared to a wildtype c-Met kinase) to a Type I c-Met inhibitor.

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell surface proteins that transmit signals from the extracellular environment to the cell cytoplasm and nucleus to regulate cellular events such as survival, growth, proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, and migration. All RTKs contain an extracellular ligand binding domain and a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase domain. Ligand binding leads to the dimerization of RTKs, which triggers the activation of the cytoplasmic kinase and initiates downstream signal transduction pathways. RTKs can be classified into distinct subfamilies based on their sequence similarity.

The TAM receptor tyrosine kinases (TYRO3, AXL (also known as UFO) and MER) is an emerging class of innate immune checkpoints that participate in key steps of anti-tumoral immunity (Akalu, T, et al., Immunological Reviews 2017; 276:165-177). TAM kinases are characterized by an extracellular ligand binding domain consisting of two immunoglobulin-like domains and two fibronectin type III domains. Two ligands, growth arrest specific 6 (GAS6) and protein S (ProS), have been identified for TAM kinases. GAS6 can bind to and activate all three TAM kinases, while ProS is a ligand for MER and TYRO3 (Graham et al., 2014, Nature reviews Cancer 14, 769-785).

TAM kinases are ectopically expressed or over-expressed in a wide variety of cancers, including breast, colon, renal, skin, lung, liver, brain, ovarian, prostate, and thyroid malignancies (Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; and Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431) and play important roles in tumor initiation and maintenance. When activated, AXL and MER can regulate tumor cell survival, proliferation, migration and invasion, angiogenesis, and tumor-host interactions (Schoumacher, M. et al., Curr. Oncol. Rep. 2017; 19(3); 19). Accordingly, blocking TAM signaling may promote engagement of adaptive immunity and complement T-cell checkpoint blockade (Akalu, T, et al., Immunological Reviews 2017; 276:165-177). Therefore, TAM inhibition represents an attractive approach for targeting another class of oncogenic RTKs (Graham et al., 2014, Nature Reviews Cancer 14, 769-785; and Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431).

AXL was originally identified as a transforming gene from DNA of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (O'Bryan et al., 1991, Molecular and Cellular Biology 11, 5016-5031). GAS6 binds to AXL and induces subsequent auto-phosphorylation and activation of AXL tyrosine kinase. AXL activates several downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-AKT, RAF-MAPK, PLC-PKC (Feneyrolles et al., 2014, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics 13, 2141-2148; Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). Over-expression or overactivation of the AXL protein has been correlated with the promotion of multiple tumorigenic processes. High levels of AXL expression have been associates with poor prognosis in different cancers such as glioblastoma multiforme (Hutterer, M., et al., Clin. Caner Res. 2008, 14, 130-138), breast cancer (Wang, X., Cancer Res. 2013, 73, 6516-6525), lung cancer (Niederst, M. et al, Sci. Signaling, 2013, 6, re6), osteosarcoma (Han, J., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2013, 435, 493-500), and acute myeloid leukemia (Ben-Batalla, L., et al., Blood 2013, 122, 2443-2452). AXL is over-expressed or amplified in a variety of malignancies including lung cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma (Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431), and over-expression of AXL is correlated with poor prognosis (Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). AXL activation promotes cancer cell survival, proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy and targeted therapies. AXL knockdown or AXL antibody can inhibit the migration of breast cancer and NSCLC cancer in vitro, and blocked tumor growth in xenograft tumor models (Li et al., 2009, Oncogene 28, 3442-3455). In pancreatic cancer cells, inhibition of AXL decreased cell proliferation and survival (Koorstra et al., 2009, Cancer Biology & Therapy 8, 618-626). In prostate cancer, AXL inhibition decreased cell migration, invasion, and proliferation (Tai et al., 2008, Oncogene 27, 4044-4055). In triple-negative breast cancer, patients typically present a significant clinical challenge, as they do not respond to the various targeted cancer therapies due to an apparent lack of RTK activation. However, patients with triple-negative breast cancer do show some response to taxane-based chemotherapy and studies have suggested that combining anti-mitotic drugs (e.g., docetaxel) with an AXL inhibitor sensitized cancer cells to the anti-mitotic drug, and AXL in combination with an anti-mitotic drug may be an appropriate combination therapy in this disease setting (Wilson, et al., Cancer Res. 2014, 74(20), 5878-5890).

TAM kinases can contribute to therapeutic resistance by at least three mechanisms: intrinsic survival signaling in tumor cells, induction of TAM kinases as an escape mechanism for tumors that have been treated with oncogene-targeted agents, and immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (Graham, et al, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2014, 14, 769-785).

TAM kinases were found to promote resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapies (chemoresistance) in leukemia cells and solid tumor cells (Graham, et al, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2014, 14, 769-785). Transgenic lymphocytes ectopically expressing MER were found to be more resistant to dexamethasone than wild-type lymphocytes (Keating, A. K., et al., Oncogene, 2006, 25, 6092-6100), and stimulation of B-ALL cells with GAS6 increased resistance to cytarabine (Shiozawa, Y., et al., Neoplasia, 2010, 12, 116-127). AXL is induced in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells that have been treated with cytotoxic chemotherapies, and it mediates increased chemoresistance (Hong, C. C., et al., Cancer Lett., 2008, 268, 314-324). Chemotherapy-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines have upregulated levels of AXL, and shRNA-mediated knockdown of AXL increases chemosensitivity in CML cells and xenograft models (Zhao, Y., et al., Cancer Invest. 2012, 30, 287-294). Similarly, shRNA-mediated MER knock-down sensitizes B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cells to a range of chemotherapies (Linger, R. M., et al., Blood, 2013, 122, 1599-1609; Brandao, L. N., et al., Blood Cancer J., 2013, 3, e101). In solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, astrocytoma, lung adenocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, melanoma, and glioblastoma multiforme, overexpression of AXL or MER promotes chemoresistance, and shRNA-mediated inhibition sensitizes cells to treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapies (Linger, R. N., et al., Oncogene, 2013, 32, 3420-3431; Song, X., et al., Cancer, 2011, 117, 734-743; Keating, A. K., et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2010, 9, 1298-1307; Lay, J. D., et al., Cancer Res. 2007, 67, 3878-3887; Zhao, Y., et al., Cancer Invest, 2012, 30, 287-294; Macleod, K., Cancer Res. 2005, 65, 6789-6800; Zhu, S., et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 2009, 106, 17025-17030; Wang, Y., et al., Oncogene 2013, 32, 872-882).

In contrast to chemoresistance, examples of acquired resistance for TAM kinases are currently limited to AXL. AXL is upregulated in imatinib-resistant CML and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) cell lines and tumor samples (Mahadevan, D., et al., Oncogene, 2007, 26, 3909-3919; Dufies, M., et al., Oncotarget 2011, 2, 874-885; Gioia, R., et al., Blood, 2011, 118, 2211-2221), and siRNA-mediated knockdown of AXL restored imatinib sensitivity to resistant cell lines (Dufies, M., et al.). Similarly, AXL is induced in lapatinib-resistant HER2 (also known as ERBB2)-positive breast cancer cell lines, and AXL inhibition restored lapatinib sensitivity (Liu, L., et al., Cancer Res. 2009, 69, 6871-6878). AXL has been associated with acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., lapatinib and erlotinib) and therapeutic antibodies (e.g., cetuximab) in triple-negative breast cancer (Meyer, A. S. et al., Sci. Signal 2013, 6, ra66), colorectal cancer (Brand, et al., Cancer Res. 2014, 74:5152-5164), head and neck cancer (Kiles, K. M, et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2013, 12, 2541-2558) cell lines, and non-small cell lung cancer (Zhang, Nat. Genet. 2013, 44(8), 852-860). AXL has also been associated with acquired resistance to inhibitors targeting other kinases, including PI3Kα inhibitors such as apelisib (BYL719) in head and neck and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (Elkabets, et al., Cancer Cell 2015, 27:533-546), MEK inhibitors (e.g., U0126 (1,4-Diamino-2,3-dicyano-1,4-bis(o-aminophenylmercapto)butadiene) and PD 325901 (1,4-Diamino-2,3-dicyano-1,4-bis(o-aminophenylmercapto)butadiene) in triple-negative breast cancer cell lines and melanoma cell lines (Miller, et al., Cancer Discovery 2016, 6:382-39), fibroblast growth factor (FGFR) (Ware, K. E., Oncogenesis 2013, 2, e39), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) (Kim, H. R., et al., Mol. Oncol. 2013, 7, 1093-1102) and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) (Huang, R., Cancer Res. 2010, 70, 7221-7231), and AXL inhibition has been demonstrated to overcome or delay resistance to these inhibitors. AXL is upregulated in NSCLC cell lines and xenografts that are resistant to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (erlotinib) and antibody drugs (cetuximab) (Brad, T. M., et al., Cancer Res. 2014, 74, 5152-5164; Zhang, Z., et al., Nature Genet. 2012, 44, 852-860), and it is induced in 20% of matched tumor samples taken from patients with NSCLC after development of resistance to the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib.

Regarding MER and AXL dual inhibitors, the normal roles of MER and AXL in preventing or terminating innate immune-mediated inflammation and natural killer (NK) cell responses are subverted in the tumor microenvironment. MER and AXL decrease NK cell antitumor activity, which allows increased metastases.

MER was originally identified as a phospho-protein from a lymphoblastoid expression library (Graham et al., 1995, Oncogene 10, 2349-2359). Both GAS6 and ProS can bind to MER and induce the phosphorylation and activation of MER kinase (Lew et al., 2014. eLife, 3:e03385). Like AXL, MER activation also conveys downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt and Raf-MAPK (Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). MER is over-expressed in many cancers including multiple myeloma, gastric, prostate, breast, melanoma and rhabdomyosarcoma (Linger et al., 2008, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). MER knockdown inhibits multiple myeloma cell growth in vitro and in xenograft models (Waizenegger et al., 2014, Leukemia, 1-9). In acute myeloid leukemia, MER knockdown induced apoptosis, decreased colony formation, and increased survival in a mouse model (Lee-Sherick et al., 2013, Oncogene 32, 5359-5368). MER inhibition increased apoptosis, decreased colony formation, increased chemo-sensitivity, and decreased tumor growth in NSCLC (Linger et al., 2013, Oncogene 32, 3420-3431). Similar effects are observed for MER knockdown in melanoma (Schlegel et al., 2013) and glioblastoma (Wang et al., 2013, Oncogene 32, 872-882).

TYRO3 was originally identified through a PCR-based cloning study (Lai and Lemke, 1991, Neuron 6, 691-704). Both ligands, GAS6 and ProS, can bind to and activate Tyro3. TYRO3 also plays a role in cancer growth and proliferation. TYRO3 is over-expressed in melanoma cells, and knockdown of TYRO3 induces apoptosis in these cells (Demarest et al., 2013, Biochemistry 52, 3102-3118).

TAM kinases have emerged as potential immune-oncology targets. The durable clinical responses to immune checkpoint blockade observed in cancer patients clearly indicate that the immune system plays a critical role in tumor initiation and maintenance. Genetic mutations from cancer cells can provide a diverse set of antigens that the immune cells can use to distinguish tumor cells from their normal counterpart. However, cancer cells have evolved multiple mechanisms to evade host immune surveillance. In fact, one hallmark of human cancer is its ability to avoid immune destruction. Cancer cells can induce an immune-suppressive microenvironment by promoting the formation of M2 tumor associated macrophages, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), and regulatory T cells. Cancer cells can also produce high levels of immune checkpoint proteins such as PD-L1 to induce T cell anergy or exhaustion. It is now clear that tumors co-opt certain immune-checkpoint pathways as a major mechanism of immune resistance (Pardoll, 2012, Cancer 12, 252-264). Antagonizing these negative regulators of T-cell function with antibodies has shown striking efficacy in clinical trials of a number of malignancies including advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung and bladder cancer. While these therapies have shown encouraging results, not all patients mount an anti-tumor response suggesting that other immune-suppressive pathways may also be important.

TAM kinases have been shown to function as checkpoints for immune activation in the tumor milieu. All TAM kinases are expressed in NK cells, and TAM kinases inhibit the antitumor activity of NK cells. LDC1267, a small molecule TAM kinase inhibitor, activates NK cells, and blocks metastasis in tumor models with different histologies (Paolino et al., 2014, Nature 507, 508-512). In addition, MER kinase decreases the activity of tumor associated macrophages through the increased secretion of immune suppressive cytokines such as ILIO and IL4, and decreased production of immune activating cytokines such as IL12 (Cook et al., 2013, The Journal of Clinical Investigation 123, 3231-3242). MER inhibition has been shown to reverse this effect. As a result, MER knockout mice are resistant to PyVmT tumor formation (Cook et al., 2013, Journal of Clinical Investigation 123, 3231-3242). The role of TAM kinases in the immune response is also supported by knockout mouse studies. TAM triple knockout mice (TKO) are viable. However, these mice displayed signs of autoimmune disease including enlarged spleen and lymph nodes, autoantibody production, swollen footpad and joints, skin lesions, and systemic lupus erythematosus (Lu and Lemke, 2001, Science 293, 306-311). This is consistent with the knockout phenotype for approved immune-oncology targets such as CTLA4 and PD-1. Both CTLA-4 and PD-1 knockout mice showed signs of autoimmune disease, and these mice die within a few weeks after birth (Chambers et al., 1997, Immunity 7, 885-895; and Nishimura et al., 2001, Science 291, 319-322). Therefore, inhibition of TAM kinases alone or in combination with other immune therapies may increase the ability of the immune system to make a therapeutically beneficial immune response against the cancer.

The MET receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., c-Met) controls growth, invasion and metastasis in cancer cells. The c-Met is activated in human cancer by a variety of different molecular mechanisms (see, e.g., Zhang et al., Carcinogenesis 4:345-355, 2016). For example, a c-Met-associated disease or condition (e.g., a c-Met-associated cancer) include: (i) mutations that alter the sequence and increase the activity of c-Met kinase; (ii) mutations in regulatory sequences controlling c-Met expression or regulators of c-Met expression that confer increased expression of c-Met; (iii) mutations that alter the c-Met polypeptide sequence to confer increased c-Met kinase half-life (e.g., a mutation in a MET gene that results in exon 14 skipping during mRNA splicing that results in an increased level of c-Met in a mammalian cell); (iv) methylation of a MET gene (see, e.g., Nones et al., Int. J. Cancer 135:1110-8, 2014); (v) methylation of long interspersed nuclear element (L1) present in the MET intron between exon 2 and exon 3 (Weber et al., Oncogene 29:5775-5784, 2010); (vi) METgene amplification; or (vii) by simultaneous expression of receptor and ligand, which results in autocrine stimulation of cancer cells (Birchmeier et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 4:915-925, 2003).

Exemplary mutations in a MET gene that alter the sequence of a c-Met kinase and increase the activity of c-Met kinase (e.g., as compared to wildtype c-Met kinase) include, but are not limited to those listed in Table 1.

Natl. Acad. Sci. 95: 14379-14383, 2002 Exemplary mutations that alter the c-Met polypeptide sequence to confer increased c-Met kinase half-life (as compared to a wildtype c-Met kinase) include, but are not limited to, the mutations listed in Table 2 that promote skipping of MET exon 14 during mRNA splicing. Other exemplary mutations that are predicted to promote skipping of MET exon 14 during mRNA splicing include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in Frampton et al., Cancer Discovery 5(8):850-9, 2015; and Heist et al., Oncologist 21(4):481-6, 2016. The portion of the c-Met protein encoded by exon 14, most prominently Y1003 in a DpYR motif, is required for efficient recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL, which targets MET for ubiquitin-mediated degradation (Lee et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269:19457-61, 1994; Lee et al., Exp. Mol. Med. 38:565-73, 2006; Lee et al., Oncogene 33:34-43, 2014). Skipping of MET exon 14 in mRNA splicing results in a c-Met kinase that maintains the reading frame and that demonstrates increased c-Met protein stability and prolonged signaling upon HGF stimulation, leading to increased oncogenic potential (Peschard et al., Mol. Cell 8:995-1004, 2001; Abella et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 25:9632-45, 2005). Other exemplary mutations that alter the c-Met polypeptide sequence to confer increased c-Met kinase half-life include, but are not limited to an amino acid substitution at Y1003 (e.g., a Y1003F amino acid substitution) (Peschard et al., Mol. Cell 8:995-1004, 2001).

expression of CD33, CD14, and low levels of HLA DR) in the subject (e.g., in a sample comprising blood or a biopsy sample obtained from the subject) (e.g., as compared to the level of MDSCs in the subject prior to administration of treatment (e.g., prior to administration of any of the compounds of Formula I or any of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein).

In some examples, a decrease in immune tolerance in a subject can be detected by observing an about 1% to about 99% (or any of the subranges of this range described herein) decrease in the level of Treg cells (e.g., cells characterized by expression of CD4, FOXP3, and CD25) in the subject (e.g., in a sample comprising blood or a biopsy sample obtained from the subject) (e.g., as compared to the level of Tregs in the subject prior to administration of treatment (e.g., prior to administration of any of the compounds of Formula I or any of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein).

In some examples, a decrease in immune tolerance in a subject can be detected by observing an about 1% to about 99% (or any of the subranges of this range described herein) decrease in the level of dendritic cells with reduced expression of CD80/CD86 in the subject (e.g., in a sample comprising blood or a biopsy sample obtained from the subject) (e.g., as compared to the level of dendritic cells with reduced expression of CD80/CD86 in the subject prior to administration of treatment (e.g., prior to administration of any of the compounds of Formula I or any of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein). Exemplary methods for detecting the levels of MDSCs, Tregs, and dendritic cells with reduced expression of CD80/CD86 include, fluorescence-assisted cell sorting and immunofluorescence microscopy.

Also provided herein are methods of inhibiting angiogenesis in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof as defined herein. In some embodiments, the angiogenesis is tumor angiogenesis and the subject has been identified or diagnosed as having a cancer (e.g., a TAM-associated cancer, a c-Met-associated cancer, or both). In some embodiments, these methods result in a decrease (e.g., a 1% to about 99% decrease, or any of the subranges of this range described herein) in the rate of development of new blood vessels (e.g., as compared to the rate of development of new blood vessels in a similar subject administered a placebo or a different treatment over a similar period of time). Exemplary methods for detecting the formation of new blood vessels include Doppler ultrasound (e.g., Color Dopler Flow Imaging), Ultrasound-Guided Diffus Optical Tomography, MRI, perfusion CT (also called functional multi-detector row CT (f-MDCT)), positron emission tomography (PET), dynamic MRI, dynamic susceptibility contrast enhanced MRI (DSC-MRI), and T1-weighted dynamic MRI (DCE-MRI). Non-limiting methods that can be used to detect the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) are described in Jeswani et al., Cancer Imaging 5(1):131-138, 2005.

Also provided herein are methods of suppressing (e.g., decreasing, e.g., a 1% to about 99% decrease, or any of the subranges of this range described herein) resistance to a therapeutic agent in a subject in need thereof that include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of (i) a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or any of the pharmaceutical compositions thereof described herein, and (ii) the therapeutic agent, where the therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of a chemotherapeutic agent, a PI-3 kinase inhibitor, an EGFR inhibitor, a HER2/neu inhibitor, an FGFR inhibitor, an ALK inhibitor, an IGF1R inhibitor, a VEGFR inhibitor, a PDGFR inhibitor, a glucocorticoid, a BRAF inhibitor, a MEK inhibitor, a HER4 inhibitor, a MET inhibitor, a RAF inhibitor, an Akt inhibitor, a FTL-3 inhibitor, and a MAP kinase pathway inhibitor. In some examples of these methods, the c-Met inhibitor is a Type 1 c-Met inhibitor, e.g., crizotinib, capmatinib, NVP-BVU972, AMG 337, bozitinib, glumetinib, savolitinib, or tepotinib. In some examples of these methods, the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, and the therapeutic agent, are administered to the subject at substantially the same time. In some embodiments of these methods, the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, and the therapeutic agent, are formulated in a single dosage form. In some embodiments of these methods, (i) the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically salt thereof, or any of the pharmaceutical compositions thereof described herein is administered to the subject prior to administration of (ii) the therapeutic agent to the subject. In some embodiments of these methods, (ii) the therapeutic agent is administered to the subject prior to administration of (i) the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically salt thereof, or any of the pharmaceutical compositions thereof described herein.

In some embodiments of these methods, the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered to the subject prior to administration of the therapeutic agent to the subject. In some embodiments of these methods, the therapeutic agent is administered to the subject prior to administration of the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, to the subject.

As used herein, the term “resistance to a therapeutic agent” refers to a reduced or decreased level of sensitivity to treatment with a therapeutic agent (e.g., a chemotherapeutic agent, a PI-3 kinase inhibitor, an EGFR inhibitor, a HER2/neu inhibitor, an FGFR inhibitor, an ALK inhibitor, an IGF1R inhibitor, a VEGFR inhibitor, a PDGFR inhibitor, a glucocorticoid, a BRAF inhibitor, a MEK inhibitor, a HER4 inhibitor, a MET inhibitor (e.g., a Type 1 c-Met kinase inhibitor, e.g., crizotinib, capmatinib, and NVP-BVU972), a RAF inhibitor, an Akt inhibitor, a FTL-3 inhibitor, and a MAP kinase pathway inhibitor) in a subject (e.g., as compared to a similar subject or as compared to the level of sensitivity to the therapeutic agent at an earlier time point). For example, resistance to an therapeutic agent in a subject can be observed by a physician, e.g., by observing the requirement of a increasing dosage amounts of a therapeutic agent over time in order to achieve the same therapeutic effect in a subject, observing the requirement for an increased number of doses and/or an increased frequency of doses of a therapeutic agent over time in order to achieve the same therapeutic effect in a subject, a decrease in the observed therapeutic response to treatment with the same dosage of a therapeutic agent over time, or an observed progression of disease or disease relapse in a subject administered a therapeutic agent.

When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of Formula I can be administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated. Administration may be topical (including transdermal, epidermal, ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal or intranasal), oral or parenteral. Oral administration can include a dosage form formulated for once-daily or twice-daily (BID) administration. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal intramuscular or injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable. In one embodiment, a compound of Formula I is formulated as a tablet. In one embodiment, a compound of Formula I is formulated as a capsule. In one embodiment, a compound of Formula I is administered orally. In one embodiment, a compound of Formula I is administered orally once a day. In one embodiment, a compound of Formula I is administered orally twice a day.

Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients). In some embodiments, the composition is suitable for topical administration. In making the compositions provided herein, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders. In one embodiment, the composition is formulated for oral administration. In one embodiment, the composition is formulated as a tablet or capsule.

The compositions comprising a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 1,000 mg (1 g), more usually about 100 mg to about 500 mg, of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage form” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other patients, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material (i.e., a compound for Formula I as provided herein) calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.

In some embodiments, the compositions provided herein contain from about 5 mg to about 50 mg of the active ingredient.

Compounds of Formula I were screened for their ability to inhibit AXL kinase using Invitrogen's LanthaScreen™ Eu Kinase Binding technology. His-tagged recombinant human AXL cytoplasmic domain was incubated with 20 nM Alexa-Fluor® Tracer 236 (PR9078A), 2 nM biotinylated anti-His (Cat. No. M4408), and 2 nM europium-labeled Streptavidin (Cat. No. PV5899) along with test compound in a buffer consisting of 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 2% DMSO. Compounds were typically prepared in a threefold serial dilution in DMSO and added to the assay to give the appropriate final concentration. After a 60-minute incubation at 22° C., the reaction was measured using a PerkinElmer EnVision multimode plate reader via TR-FRET dual wavelength detection, and the percent of control (POC) was calculated using a ratiometric emission factor. 100 POC was determined using no test compounds and 0 POC was determined using a concentration of control compound that completely inhibits the enzyme. The POC values are fit to a 4 parameter logistic curve and the IC₅₀ value is point where the curve crosses 50 POC.

Example D

c-Met Enzyme Assay

EXPERIMENTAL

The affinity of compound binding to wild type and mutant human MET kinases is measured using Invitrogen's LanthaScreen™ Eu Kinase Binding technology. Briefly, GST-tagged recombinant human MET kinase domain from Signal Chem (see Table 8 below for concentration in assay) is incubated with 50 nM Alexa-Fluor® Tracer 236 (Invitrogen Cat No. PR9078A) and 2 nM Europium-anti-GST (Invitrogen Cat. No. A151 6) along with test compound in a buffer consisting of 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Triton X-100, 1 mM DTT, and 2% DMSO. Compounds are typically prepared in a three-fold serial dilution in DMSO and added to the assay to give the appropriate final concentration. After a 60-minute incubation at 22° C., the reaction is measured using a PerkinElmer EnVision multimode plate reader via TR-FRET dual wavelength detection, and the percent of control (POC) calculated using a ratiometric emission factor. 100 POC is determined using no test compounds and 0 POC is determined using a concentration of control compound that completely inhibits the enzyme. The POC values are fit to a 4 parameter logistic curve and the IC50 value is point where the curve crosses 50 POC.
